Lyrics

You should see the way the stars

il lu mi nate your stun ning sil hou ette.

You’re glow ing in the dark.

I had to count to ten and take a breath.

You think that you don’t have

beau ty in a (A)bun dance, but you do.

And that’s the truth.

You’re fro zen in mo tion, a per fect pic ture in a frame.

Some vi sions don’t ev er fade.

I don’t need a cam er a to (D)cap ture this mo ment.

I’ll re (A)mem ber how you look to night

for all my life.

When (A)ev ’ry thing is black and white, your (D)col our’s ex plod ing.

There’s (A)some thing in the way you shine.

(G)I don’t need a cam er a when you’re in my eyes.

You should see the way this night

is un fold ing beau ti f’lly for us.

It’s get ting late, but I don’t mind:

we’ll take this in un til the sun comes up.

And I think that what we have is like ev er y (A)dream I had came true,

ly ing here with you.

A pho to could not show the way my heart is beat ing, babe.

Some vi sions don’t ev er fade.

I don’t need a cam er a to (D)cap ture this mo ment.

I’ll re (A)mem ber how you look to night

for all my life.

When (A)ev ’ry thing is black and white, your (D)col our’s ex plod ing.

There’s (A)some thing in the way you shine.

(G)I don’t need a cam er a when (G)you’re in my eyes.

And in a (B)flash it’s gone,

but I’ll keep (E)hold ing on to (G)ev ’ry lit tle de tail in the fab ric of the night, (A)nev er let ting go of it in side.

(G)I don’t need a cam er a to (D)cap ture this mo ment.

I’ll re (A)mem ber how you look to night

for all my life.

When ev ’ry thing is black and white, your (D)col our’s ex plod ing.

There’s (A)some thing in the way you shine.

(G)I don’t need a cam er a

when you’re in my eyes.
